What if the US had adoped the Enfield?

Sure you do....why else would you post this! Don't sweat it....nasty sarcasm doesn't bother me in the least!

Without putting too fine a point on it...all this proves is that I'm a better historian/researcher than you are. "Bucks County" in PA stared out in 1682 as "Burkes" (or sometimes, Burks) County (the etymology aside, it was almost certainly pronounced "bucks" from the git-go...literacy was a hit or miss proposition in the early Colonies)....probably as either a "typo" or an "Olde English" affectation, but that is how it's spelled in the oldest records, particularly the 1690 PA Colony census, as well as in the Family Bible. "Bucks County" in that spelling starts appearing around 1700, probably to end the confusion between it and rapidly growing Berks County to the northwest.

Sorry BUT I live in Pennsyltucky and your history research leaves much to be desired to put it mildly, and you are WRONG

Bucks County

Founded in 1682 by William Penn, Bucks County has had a long and distinguished history. Penn named the county after Buckinghamshire, the Penn family home in England.
